| Personal Experience |
| This is my first projector, but I did A LOT of researching before buying this. I searched and waited for about 6 months, non stop. Usually reading about projectors once a day. Anyway, I was between this and the Sanyo PLV-Z3 or Z4. They're more expensive, but I was almost willing to pay that extra bit. I decided on this because I'm a college student putting it in an apartment...obviously not much cash, and not much room. I was planning to use it for: TV (direcTV), movies, and video games (xbox, ps2). I have used the composite and the DVI inputs and there is a HUGE difference. I already got the HDMI and component adapters (i recommend them), so I know those will look great as well. Composite isnt bad, its just not crystal clear like I hear about. No screen yet, but my white wall is good so far. I will build my own to save more $. Overall great features, most handy is the 3 customizable settings. I get a lot of light from the sliding glass door, plus the normal lights in the apartment, but with curtains, the brightness is fine. But keep this in mind, the darker the room is, the better your picture will look. If you want to show off your PJ, make it dark. I highly recommend this PJ for the price and the enormous size TV you get to watch movies, video games, and television on. I love it, even my girlfriend who would rather have me spend the $ on a ring for her, reluctantly admitted it was an awesome projector. :) |

| Keep in mind there are really only 3 inputs...one for HDMI, DVI, OR component, one for composite, and one for S-video. I needed a splitter for composite, and splitters are available for HDMI, DVI, and component too, but they're a little more expensive. Also think of the length of cords you will need. Try buying a good quality, inexpensive 30-40ft HDMI or Component cord...I wanted monster but was forced to get some cheap brand...at least I have the cord though! |
